Housed in a picture postcard thatched cottage, 1826 Adare has a simplistic approach to its trade – source the best local ingredients, cook them with skill and panache and people will come flocking. That’s how it’s proven to be, with Elaine and Wade Murphy’s casual dining establishment attracting both tourists visiting nearby Adare Manor, and flocks of discerning foodies who love the fact that quality Irish ingredients like Fingal’s chorizo and Ballymakenny potatoes feature on the menu, which changes monthly. Daily specials are chalked up on the blackboard. With signature dishes like Warm Pan-Fried Chicken Livers with Pickles, Piccalilli Aioli, Bally Greens & Almonds, it’s easy to understand why 1826 Adare is held in such high culinary esteem.
